45 thoughts on “Ruins of Pain”

courtroom and disciplinary expressions like, amend and debar. Amending the past and debarring pain.
ANd the way you have used… roof, door and windows in one stanza to express different emotions…
and the way “sadness sneaked in”… Eliotic.

Its difficult to make amends…to let go of your pain and past..but once you have taken the first step…it is assured that you are on the path of healing…great poetry…loved the connection drawn with the monumental ruins..

Yes I planned the poem that way and it took me days to complete it. I changed the last stanza thrice to show the glimmer of hope in the best possible way. Finally I decided to take the last line from a story I posted on a writers’ blog. And my friend gave a go ahead so I kept this version.http://www.writersofbhutan.com/shall-we-commit-suicide
